# Activate a Flexcard

Activate a Flexcard to generate an LWC and publish it to a Lightning page or Experience Builder site. Activating a Flexcard disables editing capabilities. You can’t add or edit elements on an active Flexcard.

Preview your Flexcard's appearance and test functionality before activating it. See [Preview and Debug a Flexcard](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_preview_a_flexcard_41051.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Preview a Flexcard's appearance and test its functionality before you publish it to a Lightning page or to a page in an Experience Builder Aura site. Review how the Flexcard looks on multiple devices and test the functionality of interactive elements such as actions. Debug the Flexcard's data output, events, actions, and more.").

Note After the release 246 upgrade, the package runtime uses metadata deployment instead of the tooling API. Metadata deployment requires that you wait for activation of the parent Flexcard to complete before activating dependent cards.

1. To activate a FlexCad from the Flexcard Designer:
    
    1. From the Flexcards tab, click a version of a Flexcard to open the Flexcard Designer.
    2. To initiate the activation wizard, click **Activate** in the submenu.
    3. Click **Done**.
2. To activate a Flexcard from the Flexcards home tab:
    
    1. In the Flexcards home tab in your org, click a Flexcard to view available versions.
    2. Select the checkbox next to the inactive Flexcard you want to activate.
    3. Click **Activate**.

What’s next: Configure Publish Options to define metadata values and add a custom component SVG icon for your generated LWC. See [Publish a Flexcard](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.os_activateconfigureand_publish_flexcards_24744.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Define metadata values, such as where your Flexcard is visible, and update the component SVG icon for your Flexcard before publishing your component to a Lightning or Experience page. For example, to view your Flexcard on an Experience site you can enable Community Page under Targets in Publish Options.").
